Historic Light Stations

Please Note:

This list is an expanded version of the
National Park Service's Inventory of Historic Light Stations. We have
incorporated all of the National Park Service's Inventory and also included
every light station file that is held by the Coast Guard Historian's Office.
We
would like to thank Ms. Candace Clifford of the National Maritime Initiative
and author of the Inventory of Historic Light Stations for her
permission to utilize the Inventory.

The majority of the photos were taken from the files
of the U.S. Coast Guard Historians' Office. They were compiled and
scanned by Mr. Joseph Kiebish, and we wish to acknowledge his generous
assistance and thank him for his service as a volunteer.

Additional information as well as the history for each
lighthouse is provided courtesy of volunteers from the Chesapeake Chapter of
the U.S. Lighthouse Society, including Anne Puppa, William Simms, Melissa
Buckler, Marie Vincent, Catherine Price, Diane Hackney and Matthew B.
Jenkins. We gratefully acknowledge their efforts as well.
